Read a txt file make it a clob

Question

Hello. I have a text file that I'd like to read and then set the contents to a clob value. I'm really not too familar with streams and buffers, so everything I've tried has been grasping at straws.
I've tried reading the file with a fileReader object then writing it a string and trying to convert string to clob... no go
FileReader frObject = new FileReader("d:\\jrun4\\servers\\test\\Ndadsbload1.txt");
BufferedReader brObject = new BufferedReader(frObject);
String line = brObject.readLine();
String sFile = "";
Clob clob;
while (line != null) {
sFile += line;
line = brObject.readLine();
I've read on clobs, and saw some on ascii streams, but I'm kinda stuck. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks alot. That seems to make some sense to me. I am getting an error though. I have nothing on the page but your code, and I thought the Clob clob; would have prevented this. Am I correct in thinking that the var clob will contain the contents of the file at the completion of the loop? Again, I really appreciate the help you've already given and any additional you can give regarding this error.
192.      Writer clobWriter = clob.setCharacterStream(0);
<--->
*** Error: The variable "clob" may be accessed here before having been definitely assigned a value.
The code again:
FileReader frObject = new FileReader("d:\\jrun4\\servers\\test\\test\\Ndadsbload1.txt");
BufferedReader brObject = new BufferedReader(frObject);
String line = null;
String sFile = "";
Clob clob;
Writer clobWriter = clob.setCharacterStream(0);
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(clobWriter);
while ((line = brObject.readLine()) != null){ 
pw.println(line);
}
